	Marv Goldberg's R&B Notebooks - Jimmy Jones
		Jimmy Jones was born in Birmingham, Alabama, and his first brush with show business was tap dancing, although he got interested in singing through his church.
		The first group Jimmy sang with was an outgrowth of the Berliners, a group formed by Floyd Edmonds, with U.S. Army servicemen in Germany.
		Jimmy’s soaring tenor was clearly influenced by Clyde McPhatter and, without changing his style, fit in with the Frankie Lymon sound that was popular at the time.

		Jones still posed a slight challenge to the project I have undertaken recently: asking great musicians to select recordings of other people’s music, then sit down and listen with me, explaining what they hear in the music and how the music works.
		Jones was a young musician working in Detroit during the late 1930’s and early 1940’s, Art Tatum was important to him, along with Teddy Wilson, Fats Waller and Earl Hines.
		Jones is one of the few great musicians left from the early Bebop Era who can comment on what the greatest players were actually thinking about the new music.

		Jones became well-known during his long period (1954-63) with Count Basie's Orchestra, taking a "Pop Goes the Weasel" chorus on "April in Paris" and sharing solo duties with Joe Newman.
		When Jones surprised everyone by suddenly fleeing to Europe in 1979, Lewis became the orchestra's sole leader, playing regularly each Monday night at the Village Vanguard with the band up until his death.
		Many of the selections (half of which have been in the singer's repertoire ever since) are given definitive treatment of his set (particularly a humorous "Evil Man Blues,""Gee Baby Ain't I Good to You?" and "Smack Dab in the Middle") and Williams scats at his best on "It Don't Mean a Thing." Get this one.

	Shirley Horn, Jazz Singer and Pianist, Is Dead at 71 - New York Times
		Shirley Horn, a jazz singer and pianist who drew audiences close with a powerfully confidential, vibratoless delivery, died yesterday at a nursing home in Cheverly, Md. She was 71.
		Horn was a unique singer, with one of the slowest deliveries in jazz and a very unusual way of phrasing, putting stress on certain words and letting others slip away.
		Although some of the great piano-playing accompanists, including Hank Jones and Jimmy Jones, were hired to play on her records, and although "Loads of Love," from 1962, showcased her voice well - she could sound like a quieter, subtler version of Dinah Washington - the situation made her uncomfortable.

		Tidily swung by a quartet featuring Sarah’s favourite accompanist Jimmy Jones on piano, Sarah’s delivery is 98% straight until the fabulously surprising bop-style notes on “you dear” during the second vocal chorus, a perfect example of Vaughan’s awesome musical power in reserve.
		Vaughan had been singing Johnny Green’s 1930 classic since she was a teenager though writer/musician Leonard Feather first heard Sarah sing ‘Body And Soul’ in 1943 with Earl Hines’s orchestra and knew immediately he was in the presence of a major talent.
		Jimmy Jones does his usual discreet job at the piano.

		Etta Jones was a strikingly beautiful, authentically soulful woman who sang both blues and jazz for more than half a century without ever receiving the kind of praise and acclaim she so richly deserved.
		While Washington was a knockout from the first note, 16-year-old Etta Jones just sang from her heart as if it were as natural as breathing air.
		By this time the singer had really found herself and was capable of dishing it out with plenty of mustard.

	PBS - JAZZ A Film By Ken Burns: Selected Artist Biography - Sarah Vaughan
		This reputation endured in part because of her tendency to treat her voice more as a jazz instrument than as a vehicle for lyrics: she negotiated wide leaps within her full-bodied contralto range, improvised subtle melodic and rhythmic embellishments, and made fluid alterations of timbre from a bell-like clarity to a bluesy growl.
		In public performances Vaughan is accompanied by a trio of piano, double bass, and drums, either alone or as the nucleus of a big band or symphony orchestra.
		Among the distinguished members of her group have been Jimmy Jones (1947-52; 1954-8), Roy Haynes (1953-4), Richard Davis (late 1950s-early 1960s), Roland Hanna (early 1960s), Bob James (1965-8), Jan Hammer(1970-71), Jimmy Cobb(1970-78), Andy Simpkins (from 1979), and Harold Jones (from 1980).
